Chapter 31: The Situation (Edited)

In a world where every ninja's hands are stained with blood, sometimes, life can be placed squarely on the scales.

As in the anime, the death of Hyuga Neji's father, Hyuga Hizashi, was a case where the elders of Konoha tacitly agreed that the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi, should die to calm Kumogakure, in the end, Hyuga Hizashi died instead of Hyuga Hiashi.

Although the Hokage had a lot of power, to change the rules that were passed down for generations, it was necessary to get unanimous approval from the Council of Elders, including Homura, Koharu and Danzo.

The atmosphere dropped a few degrees in the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen and Danzo looked at each other, but this time, despite Hiruzen's fierce expression, Danzo only looked at him with indifference.

Finally, Hiruzen took a deep breath and spoke to Naito first, "Naito, you may go."

"Yes," Naito nodded.

After Naito left, Hiruzen looked at Danzo angrily, "Danzo, for your selfish desires, do you want to kill Naito!"

Danzo looked at Hiruzen and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Hiruzen, you can't talk nonsense. I just don't want to see you, as Hokage, making mistakes easily. As the Hokage's advisor, I have an obligation to make you make the right decision."

At this moment, Hiruzen wanted to punch Danzo's face and fire him, but he couldn't do that, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control Danzo's actions.

So Hiruzen said coolly, "The ninja world has become increasingly chaotic. It seems that the Second Ninja World War is imminent, Danzo, I can turn a blind eye to your actions, but if you want to harm the geniuses of Konoha, I won't make it easy for you."

Danzo has coveted the position of Hokage for a long time.

"Naito is just an outsider to the village, how can he qualify to become a Konoha genius?" scoffed Danzo, he is not Hiruzen, he will never trust an outsider.

In other words, Danzo doesn't completely trust even the people around him.

"You...," Hearing Danzo mention Naito's identity again, Hiruzen's tone became colder and colder.

Looking at Hiruzen, Danzo said with a sarcastic tone, "Rest assured, Hiruzen, perhaps, Naito, the new genius of the Ninja Academy, can directly defeat Uchiha Samui, that's a win-win situation, not only does it show his talent, but it also helps us to suppress the arrogance of the Uchiha Clan."

Of course, Hiruzen knew that Danzo was just being sarcastic.

Win against Uchiha Samui? ¡that was impossible!

Even if he is a Chuunin, Uchiha Samui is an Elite Chuunin.

No matter how talented Naito is, it would be unbelievable to win against an ordinary Chuunin after two months.

Wanting to win against an Elite Chuunin would be a joke.

The so-called Elite Chuunin mean that they have reached the top of the Chuunin level in all aspects, second only to the Jounin.

In the case of the big clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga, once someone is promoted to a Chuunin and then relies on the Sharingan or Byakugan, it is appropriate to call them Elite Chuunin.

Of course, unlike the Hyuga Clan, not everyone in the Uchiha clan can awaken the Sharingan, but Hiruzen knew that.... Uchiha Samui was able to awaken his Sharingan.

This was secret information!

The level above a Chuunin was an Elite Chuunin.

And about Elite Chuunin, if you have mastered any Jounin level technique or certain forbidden Jutsu, you can be considered as Tokubetsu Jounin!

After that, when all aspects reach Jounin level, one officially becomes a Jounin. (By all aspects he means: Speed, Stamina, Strength and chakra).

Once a Jounin reaches the top in all aspects, he becomes an Elite Jounin.

This is the ninja path, step by step.

It is extremely difficult to defeat someone who is one level higher, and Naito already succeeded once due to the awakening of his Kekkei Genkai.

Wanting to cross several levels in a row is simply impossible!

...

"Uchiha clan... Danzo...," Naito, who had left the Hokage's office, was walking through the streets of Konoha at that moment, a glint of coldness shining in his eyes.

He really felt uncomfortable.

The Nidaime Hokage, Tobirama Senju, has always hated the Uchiha Clan and delivered this thought to Danzo, who tried to destroy the Uchihas Clan with all means, and now with the Uchiha Clan in a strong position and acting arrogant. Even the Sandaime Hokage can't stop them.

And now, Naito was caught in the middle of these problems.

But, in fact, it didn't matter at all whether he was there or not.

This matter had essentially become a rivalry between three forces, the Sandaime Hokage, Danzo and the Uchiha Clan.

He was simply at the center of it all.

The three main forces, no matter which one, are too powerful for the current Naito.

Clenching his fist, Naito lowered his head and muttered, "The most important thing is power."

If he wants to control his own destiny, he needs to be strong enough.

"Hoo..."

Taking a deep breath, he slowly calmed his mind. Now all his focus must be concentrated on his battle with Uchiha Samui.

Although Naito was strong, even capable of fighting a Chuunin head on, but against Uchiha Samui, whose strength is unknown, Naito knew that he definitely had to become stronger, after all, Uchiha Samui may not possess the strength of an average Chuunin.

It's possible that he's an Elite Chuunin! He might even have awakened the Sharingan!

If he wanted to win against Uchiha Samui, his current strength is not enough, he must open the Second Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Hachimon.

Without encountering any obstacles on the way, Naito returned home.

Then. he started training.

He spent the whole night doing push-ups and squats, drenched in sweat, exhausted until he almost passed out, then went to sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, all he could think about was today's workout.

His wooden stakes were broken and he needed new ones.

But even if he bought new ones, it wouldn't be long before they too would be destroyed.

The stone was a good choice, but he will have to find a good one for training on the mountain, this is also problematic.

It just so happened that Naito felt that when training, he should not deliberately suppress the shock wave, it was best to release the shock wave completely, without holding it back.

The constant use of the shock power will bring a burden to his body, but it is precisely because it will bring a burden, so it would be another kind of training.

After leaving the house and looking at the noisy streets of Konoha, Naito headed to the back of the Hokage monument.

He remembered that in the anime, when Pain and Naruto in Nine-Tails Berserker Mode fought, it was behind the Hokage monument.
